Cisco Catalyst 8500-20X6C 3YR SNTC 8x5xNBD | Enterprise Support — CON-3SNT-C850PG2X

Keep your Catalyst 8500 edge platform covered with Cisco Smart Net Total Care for 3 years. This service is built for teams that need predictable support coverage, faster access to Cisco expertise, and a clear path to recovery when edge infrastructure is disrupted. 8x5xNBD support aligns with standard business-hour operations while next-business-day replacement helps reduce the impact of hardware failure. For infrastructure teams running branch, WAN, or edge routing services, that matters: less time spent waiting on parts, fewer extended outages, and more confidence in the platform supporting critical traffic. Cisco support adds value beyond a basic warranty. It gives you access to Cisco technical resources and service processes designed for production networks where uptime, response discipline, and vendor accountability matter. For procurement teams, the 3-year term simplifies lifecycle planning and helps standardize support across deployed assets. Choose this coverage when the platform is important enough to warrant formal support, but you do not need 24x7 response. It is a practical fit for organizations balancing service levels, operational risk, and budget control across distributed edge environments.
